Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Genetics

His primary areas of investigation include Gene, Genetics, Anopheles gambiae, Cytochrome P450 and Tetranychus urticae. The Gene study which covers Botany that intersects with Mode of action and Point mutation. His Genetics research integrates issues from Aedes aegypti and Aedes.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Permethrin, Microarray, Molecular biology, Anopheles and Pesticide resistance. His Cytochrome P450 research is under the purview of Biochemistry. John Vontas interconnects Abamectin, Toxicology and Spider mite in the investigation of issues within Tetranychus urticae.

His most cited work include:

  • Acaricide resistance mechanisms in the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae and other important Acari: A review (435 citations)
  • Glutathione S-transferases as antioxidant defence agents confer pyrethroid resistance in Nilaparvata lugens. (406 citations)
  • Highly evolvable malaria vectors: The genomes of 16 Anopheles mosquitoes (389 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Genetics, Gene, Pyrethroid, Anopheles gambiae and Tetranychus urticae. His research in the fields of Mutation, Point mutation, Phenotype and Genome overlaps with other disciplines such as Resistance mutation. His Gene study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Cytochrome P450.

His Pyrethroid research includes themes of Deltamethrin, Permethrin, Outbreak and Aedes aegypti. His Anopheles gambiae research includes themes of Toxicology, Biochemistry, Enzyme, TaqMan and Anopheles. His studies in Tetranychus urticae integrate themes in fields like Pesticide, Abamectin, Acaricide and Spider mite.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Genetics (43.91%)
  • Gene (31.41%)
  • Pyrethroid (23.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Genetics (43.91%)
  • Pyrethroid (23.08%)
  • Veterinary medicine (14.10%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

John Vontas mainly focuses on Genetics, Pyrethroid, Veterinary medicine, Transcriptome and Gene. The study incorporates disciplines such as Tetranychus urticae and Acaricide in addition to Genetics. His Pyrethroid research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Anopheles gambiae and Aedes aegypti.

His study on Anopheles gambiae also encompasses disciplines like

  • Dinotefuran which intersects with area such as Toxicology and Anopheles,
  • Appendage which is related to area like Zoology. His Transcriptome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of PEST analysis, Midgut, Piperonyl butoxide and Nezara viridula. His study explores the link between Gene and topics such as Bactrocera that cross with problems in Bacteria.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A sensory appendage protein protects malaria vectors from pyrethroids (40 citations)
  • A sensory appendage protein protects malaria vectors from pyrethroids (40 citations)
  • Targeted mutagenesis using CRISPR-Cas9 in the chelicerate herbivore Tetranychus urticae. (16 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Enzyme

John Vontas mainly investigates Pyrethroid, Genome, Genetics, Anopheles gambiae and Insecticide resistance. His Pyrethroid study combines topics in areas such as Transgene, Pollen beetle, Genotype, Deltamethrin and Aedes aegypti. John Vontas has included themes like Evolutionary biology, Gut flora and CRISPR in his Genome study.

His research integrates issues of Tetranychus urticae, Whitefly and Cyfluthrin in his study of Genetics. His Anopheles gambiae study incorporates themes from Population density, Attractive toxic sugar baits, Malaise trap, Toxicology and Dinotefuran. His Insecticide resistance research incorporates themes from Zoology, Selective sweep, Mosquito control, Locus and Appendage.
